The track looks promising and very similar to brands hatch. hope for a good race and some more valuable points for the championship. With some good news from stewards maybe can battle for the 3-rd place in championship :)

Sorry for the lateness, but a moron hit my real car today. Beloved 335i needs a fair bit of work. Very annoyed about that, because although the car is 11 years old it is utterly mint (and quick – extra boost to 386hp).

Anyway, not really in the mood (and had to skip dinner) and hit a kerb for some reason and crashed. No backsies just because you’re pissed off, still a cock up. Felt the low numbers this race as my rise from nowhere to the podium consisted of my team mate moving out of the way and Pensionisti spinning out of my way. No chance to catch the leaders, but I think this leaves it winner takes all at Road America, so best result all around.

Lag and mistakes, or mistakes cause by lag, being very dicissive for my races. although the pace and lap times good on practice where everything runs smooth 90fps, it feels so lag-ish when everybody comes in, i can’t set a good lap for quali and the first race laps are very difficult and i loose a lot in the first 5 laps on all races. the same happened in this race although found some slow cars in front of me (storm and bobby) i couldn’t pass them although my pace was away better. Almost crashed on them 2 or 3 times couldn’t react fast in that frame rate to pass them, so i went on grass to avoid crashing and they went way for some laps. than set the pace and could catch them again and passed storm while bobby took a pit, but the mistakes again and storm re-took the place. struggling with the tires through the end when bobby was very threatening with fresh tires, but somehow the leader came in handy and blue flags helped me make a secure gap for the 4’th place. Such a shame i am 1 sec or more off my practice sessions during the race cause of lag :( . Anyway happy with the progress done this season. if everything goes well, think i can keep the 4’th position in championship.

bobbydeacs: Yes, that is what I meant though i didn't make it clear, so 17psi cold usually gets you close to 26 hot depending on track/downforce/air/track temperature etc. I tend to take the view that if you're running on say ultras and the running psi is close to 26, but the temps are say 5 degs too high then you're probably 1 compound out and should try the supers rather than increase the pressures. If you were running 10 degs high, then you're probably 2 compounds out so it would then be softs etc. Not saying I'm right though, maybe it is better sometimes to simply try to get the temps down. BTW the hypers tend to overheat on most tracks a bit, but I've found them spot-on at places like Singapore.

Rhobium: 26 psi being the hot pressure, I assume, which gets quite a bit higher than what you set in the garage

bobbydeacs: perfectly normal to have them slightly different. However, with modern F1 cars in particular it's a balancing act. You also want the tyres close to 26psi with this car - too low or too high psi loses grip. The problem is that if you increase psi to get the temps down, you also lose some tyre footprint - hence there isnt a huge advantage normally.

pensionisti: Is it normal to put the LF tyre at 18 psi and the RF at 16, i don't find other way to keep them in temp on ultras ?

pensionisti: yeah but my top speed 325 while yours 346. not sure why but i feel a torque loss after the 6th gear. like it's not accelerating in same speed and loosing power. Anyway have to get used to the grip of the car to carry more speed on corners

Church: i had 11-5 for now

pensionisti: i think it;s enogh to pass carousel flat out

pensionisti: so it should've been much higher speed

pensionisti: i am on 9-4

bobbydeacs: what aero are you using I think I had 15-7

pensionisti: ok thank you will do some tests as seeing these graph it dosn't look i have set it properly and i can't put it on 8 th gear at all https://imgur.com/a/CzzHOBt

bobbydeacs: That said, if you don't run it down between stops then you are wasting energy. Should aim for it to be quite low at end of stint.

bobbydeacs: The green bar, if its running down each lap you are using a bit too much

pensionisti: my question was more basic, as i don't know where to look at, and set the delivery option. like if i set the recovery to 50% and set to motor how do i see if it is enough for the lap or for the race or if it is consuming too much or it's not using it at all. anyway will check online how to set it up, looks more easy. Thank you

bobbydeacs: If you have it set to motor, it works - end of. What I think you are noticing here is I've changed the car to have more mid range power and less top end power. This will reduce top speed. Maybe I overdid it a fraction, but I think the speeds are more accurate now.

pensionisti: If it affects acceleration it affects top speed as well. I just dont know how to check if it worked and how to set it up properly.
